He stood on tiptoe, _39_as high as he could, but even at his tallest __40__he was unable to touch it. He began to __41__ up and down, as high as he could, at the _42 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of _43_.

Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at 36. When I made my first visit 37 the Unites States, I was 38 I could have a nice easy holiday without any 39 problem. But how 40 I was!
At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to 41 my friend Jenny I had 41 . A worker asked if he could 43 me. “Yes,” I said. “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s nice. Are you getting married?” he asked. “No,” I answered. “I just want to tell her 44 the phone I have arrived.” “Oh,” he said, “there is a 45 downstairs on the first floor.” “But we’re on the first floor now,” I said. “Well, I don’t know what you are 46 about. Maybe you aren’t feeling too well after your 47,” he said. “You just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better.” And he went 48 , 49 me wondering where on earth I was: at home we wash up after a 50 to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?

One night recently, I was driving down a highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car came from the _21_ direction at about the same speed. As we _22_ each other, I looked into the driver’s eyes for a second. I 23 whether he might be thinking, as I was, how 24 we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall 25 , not to cross over into my lane (车道) and bring my 26 to a sudden end. He relied on me in just the same way without doubt.
